I'm partial to "octothorpe".  ;-)

But at the end of the day, there doesn't really need to be a perfect 
match between the symbols used for system grouping and the naming.  
Rather it just needs to be clear and consistent enough that it can be 
well documented and folks can eventually adapt to using it.

I would definitely recommend against "##" or "||" simply because they do 
not clearly indicate starting and ending positions.  That is to say, 
what is the difference between "####" and "####", where one means two 
square brackets side-by-side and the other is a nested pair of brackets. 
 At least "<><>" and "<<>>" are visually unique.  And the angle bracket 
nearly forms a 90-degree angle, so mapping it to "square" seems apropos 
in an indirect manner.
